Hi,
I have a show in May (the 1st) we live 1500 meters up in the mountains , and the weather is still in the 50s. It doesnt look like its going to get any better for the next few weeks either, however the sun is strong here , and it feels very warm in the sun. My question is for those of you that live in colder climates , or high altitudes. I could get away with NOT clipping one horse for this show , as he has short hair , and a lot would come off with a good shampoo or 2, however the other has short fuzzy hair that has turned red, under that is a nice shiney black coat waiting to be shown. How many of you would go ahead and clip regardless of the 50 degree temp (16 celcus) and just keep them in blankets? I have plenty of blankets, but I like to turn them out in a big pasture during the day. and worry about blankets in pasture . I also want them to look their best for the show, its NOT a showmanship or halter show, just an in hand obsticle shcooling show.
thanks for your ideas
